  • I'm deliberating over purchasing a two bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette (leasehold) but the landlord has been missing for nearly 15yrs. My question is would it be cheaper to try to buy the reversionary title or to extend lease and apply for right to manage?
  • Possibly made a mistake, I am seeking a lawyers in Taplow who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise in relation to lease extensions. Are you able to help me with?
  • I will soon view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety four years balance left on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • My conveyancing practitioners (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • My brother has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Taplow. House converted into three apartments. He has a lease, which has around 70 years left. How much would it cost for a lease extension and how many years would he need to extend by?
  • Just been over 2 years that I have owned my garden flat in Taplow. I have fivety eight yrs left on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my solicitors about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to the tribunal etc)?
  • I have a lease of sixety years remaining on my flat in Taplow. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
